New Product Development Manager
Fired up to over achieve and get noticed for your efforts?
We’re in partnership with a hugely successful FMCG brand that’s found in homes all over the world. They’re at a pivotal and incredibly exciting stage in their journey, with big plans, major investment, and a real ambition to shake things up and make some serious noise in the market. They’re looking for top talent to join them on that journey, so this is a fantastic opportunity to come in right at the start of something big and genuinely make an impact.
With a focus on innovation, brand growth, and customer partnerships, this is an opportunity to join a fast-paced, ambitious environment where you can have real impact.
The Role
As the successful NPD Manager, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future product pipeline for a dynamic FMCG brand. Sitting at the heart of the UK business, you’ll act as the bridge between global innovation strategy and local market execution, turning insight, trends and technical expertise into commercially successful, compliant and exciting product launches. You’ll own the NPD pipeline from concept through to launch, leading cross-functional teams, influencing global stakeholders and working closely with commercial, category, compliance, marketing, sales and external partners to bring best-in-class products to market. With real autonomy, visibility and the chance to impact both UK and international channels, this role is ideal for someone who is passionate about innovation, and creating products that genuinely resonate with consumers.
